After a mix of pitcher errors and great hits, Houston defeated Texas A&M 9-3 in the Strike Out Breast Cancer game Wednesday night.
It was one of the fullest crowds of the season as the teams honored breast cancer survivors and raised money for research and awareness in partnership with the Susan G. Komen foundation.
“(It was) probably our first big crowd. It has a tremendous impact on the game, and it gives our players just a little bit more motivation knowing that there is kids in the stands looking up to them and watching them,” said head coach Kristin Vesely.
